Which lines in this excerpt from “Flight” by John Steinbeck contain personification? The farm buildings huddled like the clingin

g aphids on the mountain skirts, crouched low to the ground as though the wind might blow them into the sea. . . . Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips. . . . The high mountain wind coasted sighing through the passand whistled on the edges of the big blocks of broken granite. . . . A scar of green grass cut across the flat. And behind the flat another mountain rose, desolate with dead rocks and starving little black bushes. . . . Gradually the sharp snaggled edge of the ridge stood out above them, rotten granite tortured and eaten by the winds of time. Pepe had dropped his reins on the horn, leaving direction to the horse. The brush grabbed at his legs in the dark until one knee of his jeans was ripped.

<u>Answer:</u>

The description suggests that A: Fear influences what people say and do.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Fear is the clash between our inner sense and outer sense, i.e. clash between what we really are from inside and the pressure of society, family, decisions on outside creates fear in humans.

The fear that arises when we see any wild animal or a danger in front of us results in some chemical reactions in our brain and we react. In any negative situations, when one fears, people tend to react differently and may be say things in a different way. So, option A is correct according to the description given about Gazelle. Other options are incorrect according to the excerpt given.
